Hamburg (ots) -

TIME Magazine has recently published its new editorial ranking
"World's Greatest Places 2018." Opened only one-and-a-half years ago,
the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's new concert hall and iconic landmark,
has made it into the list of the world's most amazing places.

Situated in the heart of the port, the Elbphilharmonie is the
landmark of Hamburg, the music city in Northern Germany. Ever since
its grand opening in January 2017, the new concert hall with its
unique architectural design has been at the centre of public
attention. To date, more than 7 million people have enjoyed the
panoramic view from the Plaza, the Elbphilharmonie's public viewing
platform, and about 1.5 million visitors have experienced concerts in
the building's spectacular halls, ranging from classical music, jazz
and world music to avant-garde, electronic music and pop
(www.elbphilharmonie.de).

The success story of the Elbphilharmonie has attracted
considerable international attention. Set against this backdrop,
US-based TIME Magazine has chosen the building from among 1,200
candidate places and included it in its list of "World's Greatest
Places 2018". Featured in the "to visit" category alongside famous
places such as the Tivoli in Copenhagen or the Golden Bridge in Ba Na
Hills in Vietnam, the Elbphilharmonie is building its reputation as a
landmark for Germany.

The list of candidate places was compiled by reporters, editors
and industry expert from around the world and includes 100
destinations to experience in categories like "to visit", "to stay"
and "eat and drink". The full list is available at

When it comes to music, Hamburg plays an important role as a
European tourist destination, and the opening of the Elbphilharmonie
Hamburg certainly contributed to this boom. Hamburg provides a wealth
of music-related travel opportunities, ranging from great classical
Hamburg composers such as Brahms to the Beatles as well as arguably
the most vibrant live-music scene in Europe and music-festival
highlights such as the MS Dockville Festival and Reeperbahn-Festival.
